After driving a Charger with 'only' 485 hp, we found it to be more than adequate and in fact, far more usable out on the road. But driving the Scat Pack has softened our opinion. We found the Hellcat to be surprisingly livable if not a bit scary when pushed hard and it is certainly worthy of dream car status. If you sit around reading reviews of the Hellcat, it may be easy to fall victim to the allure of a sub-$100,000 muscle car with more power than most mid-engine supercars. No matter which version of the Charger you get, Dodge's color palette is filled with bold hues.

The Hellcat badges are finished in white or blue depending on the paint color and a unique Daytona stripe sits on the back with a small spoiler to signify it as a special edition. Most Hellcat Chargers ride on black, grey, or bronze wheels but the Daytona Edition wears unique silver ones. Our Hellcat tester was the Daytona Edition, featuring a B5 Blue paint job that is exclusive to that version for the 2020 model year. On the fenders, a 392 HEMI emblem signifies the engine size. The Scat Pack uses a variation of the original Superbee logo, which pictures a bumblebee doing a burnout. Each car comes with unique badging to designate its place in the Charger lineup.

Both of these cars feature flared fenders housing 305-section tires wrapped around 20-inch wheels. Dodge used to offer the Hellcat in both of these configurations but now only offers it as a widebody. The Scat Pack is available in standard or widebody guises with the latter sent to us for testing.
